About the documentary

Nadiya Hussain suffers from extreme anxiety and debilitating panic attacks, which she’s had since childhood. For decades, she has kept her anxiety a secret, ashamed to speak out.

She’s never had a proper diagnosis but thinks she has an anxiety disorder, and with around 5 million people suffering from the condition in the UK, Nadiya is not alone.

In this one-off documentary for BBC One, Nadiya sets out to find the cause of her anxiety, exploring the most effective, available treatments, whilst having therapy herself, in the hope of managing her anxiety.

Raw, open and honest, this documentary will speak to the millions of people in the UK and the U.S. suffering with anxiety disorders, shining a light and starting a debate about on an increasingly pressing issue.

The event can be attended in person or virtually and counts as a Social Work Continuing Education Unit (CEU). To register, you can click here. For more information, you can contact Angela Cantwell at 215-456-9667 or angela.cantwell@jefferson.edu.
